The Splash Zone 12/27/18: Mike Tannenbaum’s Time In Miami Looks To Be Coming To An End

The first domino is set to fall as Mike Tannenbaum is expected to part ways with the team following the season. Tannenbaum has been with the team for the past four years and spent the last three as the V.P. of football operations. With an underachieving roster, changes had to be made and it looks like Tannenbaum may be the only one getting the boot. But that could change on Sunday if the Dolphins fall flat against the Bills.
